Absent the need to achieve and earn for themselves it became all too easy to tune out and turn on.A Modest Scriblerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07698092153994590787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3360697570873499457.post-11720347608096886902019-08-19T08:11:40.971-07:002019-08-19T08:11:40.971-07:00Frank, you are obviously more kindly than I.

I grew up earning everything I got and appreciated the little my mom could give us.............the most valuable being a set of principles to adhere to when things got tough. Many of my generation did just that. But are too many, spoiled by a Greatest Generation that made the mistake of giving their children what they never had, ended up transforming their children into Sophist Lotus eaters, many of them taking two decades to sober up.A Modest Scriblerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07698092153994590787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3360697570873499457.post-11272963173563261782019-08-19T07:56:43.957-07:002019-08-19T07:56:43.957-07:00Like you, I never understood how the greatest gene...Like you, I never understood how the greatest generation of Americans reared the likes of this.

But for those of us that see this as what it is - narcissism - America would have ended 30 years ago.TheRandyGuynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3360697570873499457.post-14963143080912723402019-08-19T07:35:00.336-07:002019-08-19T07:35:00.336-07:00Awful hard on them, no Scribe? It was a Generation... Awful hard on them, no Scribe? It was a Generation trying to find itself, a rebellion from their Parents. My Parents Generation were raised much like Europeans raised their Children. It was time for a change. We're going through the same type of thing now. History is repeating itself.Frank R.
